Glengoyne 20

Glengoyne is a highland malt usually known for it’s unpeated malt and emphasis on sherry maturation. I also personally prefer it a with a little age on. This is an independent bottling by Cadenhead’s uncharacteristically matured in a bourbon hogshead, but it’s still got a decent amount of age on it, so should be quite interesting.

Aged 20 years. 54%ABV. Matured in a bourbon hogshead. No colourant added, non-chill filtered and bottled at cask strength from a single cask.

This smells a lot younger than it is, the nose is very active and has some bite to it. On the palate it’s still very intensely flavoured but tastes more its age. Not a bad whisky all in all but I think it was a little unbalanced and do prefer the sherry maturation.
